An all-new episode of The Vampire Diaries airs tonight at 8/7c and Candice Accola teased Access Hollywood about what we can expect with Caroline and Enzo’s road trip to track down yet another Silas doppelganger, the paramedic-in-Atlanta Tom.

There have already been some sparks (well, to be fair, verbal sparring) between Caroline and the formerly imprisoned Enzo, but don’t expect their journey in this week’s episode to lead to romance.

“I think that the witty banter between both of these characters [is] really fun. … Already what I think I’ve seen through Twitterverse, is that it’s kind of a little reminiscent to the banter between Caroline and Klaus,” Candice said. “There’s nothing necessarily dramatic on this road trip between these two characters romantically. I think it’s just a new kind of witty banter that gets the blood boiling a little bit for these characters.”

Tonight’s the night! The casts and executive producers of The Vampire Diaries and The Originals will be representing their respective shows tonight at the 2014 PaleyFest Television Festival. Couldn’t it make it to Los Angeles for the big event? No worries, Paley has you covered: You will be able to watch a livestream direct from the Dolby Theatre, starting at 7:15pm Pacific time. First up will be The Originals panel, followed by The Vampire Diaries panel at 8:20pm.

This a must-read article if you want insight not only into how Julie oversees three shows, but the particulars of bringing that show to your screen every week. Also there are photos featuring other familiar faces, and you can the skeleton of what I assume is a former employee kept in Michael Narducci’s office.

“Let’s just say today we’re starting to break a new episode, which means we are in the process of finishing the one that precedes it. We make a list, we look at a blank board, and we make [another] list, and we say, ‘OK. Where did we end the previous episode? What do we owe from all the episodes we’ve done?’ Make that list. Make sure there’re no threads dangling, characters that haven’t been seen for a while.

What do we owe? We make a list. We spend a day sort of thinking, Gosh, what do we want to see? It’s been a long time since Elijah smiled. How can we create a story that makes him happy or where he can have a little fun? Hey, it’s been a while since there’s been a full moon, and we have a werewolf storyline, so should this be a full moon episode? What’s the big shocking reveal? What’s the big romantic wow? If you were going to say what you wanted this episode to be and mean, what would you call it? What would you say?

We just keep talking like that in really broad strokes. What we want to see our characters doing. What we want to see happen supernaturally. Then, in those big talks, myself or [Michael] Narducci, whoever’s kind of in charge at the moment, will start to whittle all those big thoughts into more clear, precise, beats, story ideas, pitches and you just keep whittling until you land on a concept for the episode.”

BuzzFeed posted some shocking news for The Originals fans tonight after the show’s East coast airing. Since we’re aware that many fans DVR the show, and it relates to events in tonight’s episode, Farewell to Storyville (EP116), we’re placing the news behind a cut for now. UPDATE: Post edited.

As the headline states, a lead actor and integral character made their last appearance as a series regular in tonight’s The Originals.

BuzzFeed has confirmed that Episode 16, the aptly titled “Farewell to Storyville,” was Holt’s final installment as a series regular. According to sources close to production, it was entirely the actress’s decision to leave The Originals, but everyone involved with the freshman series hopes she might return for future guest appearances.

We expect we’ll have more to say about this news once we’ve properly processed it, but we want to give Claire Holt our most sincere thanks for bringing Rebekah Mikaelson to life over two seasons of The Vampire Diaries and most of The Originals Season 1. Tonight was a prime example of why we love this character, and why we will miss having her on our screens every week. We wish Claire the utmost luck in her future projects, but hope we will be seeing Bex pop by once in a while.
